One our local ones talks like Danny Dyer. It’s just odd when you collect it and a Chinaman says Alright Geez you ordering or collecting?

Re: Happy New Year!
We used to have a truly excellent Chinese no more than 2 minutes walk away from us, run by a lovely old Hong Kong Chinese couple. I'd ring up the order then ask how long it would be and the reply was (without fail) 'ten mini'
They retired 7 or 8 years ago and apparently went back to HK. Not the best move, IMHO.

Re: Happy New Year!
That reminds me of when I was having an operation and there's two white guys in the preop room. I already have the cannula in and as I'm drifting off I hear Bob Marley. Later that day I'm talking with the surgeon and mention that I imagined Bob Marley was in the room and he said "it was the anaesthetist who is a white Jamaican" Apparently most patients are a bit taken abackTaipan wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 9:45 amBuckaroo wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 10:17 pm I think our Chinese takeaway guy was born under arsehole.

Re: Happy New Year!
I grew up in a Suffolk village in the 1970s, I went to school with a girl who looked Chinese, she was born before me and had lived in the UK longer than me, she had a Suffolk accent, it can't be that unusual for someone from Basildon to look Chinese.
I also work with someone who grew up in Beijing who said she had no idea how to cook traditional Chinese food but her daughter wanted her to on Friday.
